TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A FEW OBJECTS ALONG THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER. ALL OF THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,500.
I AM CURIOUS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FROM AN ACCIDENT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE DRIVER FAILED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THEN A LIGHT POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NOSE, RIBS AND A CRACKED PELVIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 815.
The passenger side automatic sliding door came off track and shattered the rear window. Glass flew all over our daughter in her car seat. The van had recall power sliding door service done, but it still failed. Roller bearings were badly worn.
MY 2013 SIENNA WAS PARKED WITH REMOTE BUTTON USED TO OPEN THE REAR HATCHBACK DOOR. IT WAS OPEN AND WE WERE LOADING UP THE BACK AREA WHEN THE HATCHBACK SUSPENSION FAILED AND THE DOOR CAME DOWN. THIS TRAPPED THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS STANDING UNDER IT AND IT TOOK ANOTHER PERSON TO HELP GET IT OFF THEM. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC WHO INFORMED US THE SHOCK WAS BAD AND THAT THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER IT SEEMS NOT THE 2013 VERSION WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED ONE.
THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED TWICE AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE 1ST TIME HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS AFTER BEING PURCHASED. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 45-50MPH, BEGAN BREAKING FOR A YELLOW LIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE WOMAN IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT OF THE LIGHT. TO AVOID HITTING HER I HAD TO BREAK FIRM BUT NOT SLAMMING ON THE BREAKS. I STOPPED ABOUT A CAR LENGTH SHORT OF HER AND THEN FELT AN IMPACT. I ASSUMED I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER DRIVER BUT THERE WAS NO CAR THERE. I PULLED INTO A MALL JUST AHEAD AND LOOKED BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT TO FIND THE 2ND ROW SEAT, WHERE 10 MINUTES BEFORE MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN SITTING, HAD COLLAPSED FORWARD, SLID ON THE RAILS AND SLAMMED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT WAS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO BE MOVED IN IT'S COLLAPSED POSITION. I SUFFERED EXTREME WHIP LASH AND BACK PAIN. SINCE I WAS IN-ROUTE TO TOYOTA FOR MORE PROBLEMS I WENT TO THE DEALER WHO MOVED THE SEAT BACK AND CLAIMED "MY DAUGHTER MUST HAVE PLAYED WITH IT" AFTER GOING TO A NEW DEALERSHIP AND MONTHS OF TESTING AND BACK AND FORTH TOYOTA REPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THE RAILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT NOT THE SEAT. THEY ALSO HAD ME SIGN OFF THAT THEY COULD INSPECT THE PARTS AND TELL ME WHY IT FAILED. THIS NEVER HAPPENED. TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS SLOWING ON A STEEP TWISTING DIRT ROAD TO STOP BEFORE TURNING ON A BRIDGE AND HEAR A SOUND LIKE GOING UP A ROLLER COASTER. CLICK CLICK CLICK. I BRACED BC I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND AGAIN MY DAUGHTERS SEAT SLAMMED INTO MINE. THIS TIME NOT ONLY DID THE RAILS FAIL TO STOP THE SEAT BUT IT AGAIN COLLAPSED FORWARD AND THIS TIME THE FOOT REST ALSO UNLOCKED AND LODGED UNDER MY SEAT. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VAN THIS TIME EITHER. 2.5 YEARS OF REPEATED UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIRS TO VARIOUS PARTS (MOON ROOF 8+)(RADIO/GPS 5+)(SQUEAKING/RATTLING REAR SEATS 5+) LIABILITY REPORT FILED (4TH) WILL CONTACT A LAWYER THIS TIME.
THE SLIDING DOOR WAS OPENING (VIA KEYCHAIN BUTTON), BUT OPENED ONLY HALFWAY BEFORE SLAMMING SHUT VERY QUICKLY. IT WAS LIKE IT THOUGHT IT HIT SOMETHING IN BY THE BACK TIRE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. MY DAUGHTER HAD STARTED GETTING INTO THE CAR, SO THE DOOR SLAMMED SHUT ON HER FINGER AND ACTUALLY LATCHED CLOSED WITH HER FINGER STUCK INSIDE. THE DOOR HASN'T WORKED SINCE. THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" BACKFIRED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 TOYOTA SEINNA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE PANEL OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING, FLAMES APPEARED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
"The vehicle suffered a critical failure of the shift interlock safety system. After parking in a driveway, the ignition key was able to be fully turned to the 'off' position and removed from the ignition cylinder, even though the transmission was not successfully secured in 'Park.' After the key was removed and I and went into the house the van rolled away. It traveled downhill, crashed through a fence, and collided with a residential structure, causing significant property damage to the house and vehicle. This failure could potentially cause serious injury or death and this was the first time that it had occurred and is exhibiting the same failure as described. Immediately following the collision, video evidence was recorded showing the key in hand while the dashboard indicators and shifter remained out of the 'Park' position. This indicates the safety mechanism designed to prevent key removal unless the vehicle is in 'Park' failed to operate, creating a life-safety rollaway hazard."
FUEL PUMP SOMETIMES STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A SUDDEN STALL OR HESITATION WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MY SIENNA VAN IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED. WHEN FUEL PUMP FAILS, I NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE STARTS RUNNING ROUGH AND THAT WARNING LIGHTS MAY APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ENGINE MIGHT NOT RESTART IF IT STALLS. *TR
TONIGHT AROUND 1950 HRS., WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING COVER, I LOST CONTROL OVER MY TOYOTA SIENNA 2013 DUE TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AND AS A RESULT I HIT AND RUN OVER THE CURB. I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE PADDLE WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. TWO OF MY CHILDREN WERE FRIGHTENED BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CURB IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STRUCK/HIT THE APARTMENT BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME.
